The Cancer Genomics and Tumor Immunotherapy Symposium: A Clinical Perspective is a key educational event, jointly hosted by the Cancer Genomics Program (CGP) and the Tumor Immunotherapy Program (TIP) at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The objective of this Symposium is to provide a clinical and translational perspective on cancer genomics and tumor immunotherapy by highlighting emerging therapies and technologies as they apply to precision cancer medicine at the point of care. Participants will learn about new research on mechanisms of resistance and response, emerging therapies and technologies aimed at increasing the personalized approach to treatment, and genomic applications in the clinic.
This one-day symposium will be held virtually this year.
